91: Chapter 91 Shrek's Strength Increases

Early the next morning, the three followed Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen to a valley, where the faint sound of thunder could be heard from within.

Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen said, "I will only escort you to this point. Remember, come out before sunset today."

"I understand, Father," Yu Xiaogang nodded in response.

Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen gave him a long, deep look, then his figure flashed, and he vanished from the spot.

Inside Thunder Canyon.

"Little San," Yu Xiaogang said, surveying his surroundings. "In your opinion, could there be an Immortal Plant here?"

A gleam of light flashed in Tang San's eyes. "Teacher, I have a premonition that there is a high possibility of an Opportunity hidden here."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Flender pushed up his glasses. "Let's hurry and search!"

Tang San suggested, "Teacher, Dean, why don't we split up to search?"

"Little San is right," Yu Xiaogang agreed.

The three immediately dispersed, carefully searching for those rare flowers and grasses.

Over half a day later.

The three had traversed the entire canyon, but apart from ordinary flowers and some medicinal herbs, they had yet to see any trace of an Immortal Plant.

Before a steep, near-vertical slope that was rarely visited by human footprints, Yu Xiaogang climbed up using both his hands and feet.

At the top of the slope, a patch of knee-high weeds swayed in the wind.

Yu Xiaogang wiped the sweat from his forehead, the last glimmer of hope in his heart about to be extinguished.

Just as he was in a trance, crack—the ground beneath his feet suddenly split open.

"Not good!"

Yu Xiaogang didn't have time to react before the entire patch of ground instantly collapsed. With no footing, he plummeted downward along with a large amount of soil.

"Xiaogang!"

Flender was the first to notice the commotion; his wings unfolded behind his back, and he transformed into a streak of light, rushing directly toward the collapse.

Upon arriving, he saw the opening was extremely narrow, only allowing one person to pass through.

He did not hesitate to lean down and dive into the hole.

A few breaths later, Flender landed steadily at the bottom of the cave.

On the distant rock walls, a large number of crystals flashing with electric arcs were embedded, illuminating this underground space.

"Xiaogang, are you alright?" Flender quickly stepped forward and helped Yu Xiaogang up.

"It's nothing, I'll be fine after a moment," Yu Xiaogang waved his hand. "It's fortunate the cave isn't too deep."

While speaking, Yu Xiaogang's gaze was firmly drawn to the scene in the distance.

"Flender, you hurry and call Little San over!" He had suddenly discovered three strangely shaped plants growing in the distance.

Flender followed his gaze, a hint of pleasant surprise flashing in his eyes. "I'm going right now!"

He flapped his wings and soared into the air, quickly finding Tang San.

"Tang San, come with me quickly, there's a major discovery!"

Tang San's gaze sharpened, and he followed Flender without hesitation.

The two arrived at the cave entrance, jumped down one after another, and landed steadily at the bottom.

Seeing Tang San arrive, Yu Xiaogang pointed toward the distance impatiently. "Little San, quickly, take a look and see if those are Immortal Plants?"

Tang San looked in the direction Yu Xiaogang indicated, and his breath hitched.

Using Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, he flashed over to the three plants.

Records from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record quickly flashed through Tang San's mind.

Thunder-Patterned Vermilion Fruit: a deep blue plant bearing two fist-sized fruits that were crystal clear, with electric light faintly flowing along the patterns on their surfaces.

Thunder-Marrow Mysterious Spirit Flower: its petals were thin as cicada wings, presenting a translucent purple color, with a mass of liquid lightning gathered at the stamen.

Heavenly Thunder Tempering Spirit Grass: five slender, silver-white leaves stood upright like swords.

These three could only be considered high-tier Immortal Plants, but they were treasures that lightning-attribute Spirit Masters dreamed of.

If consumed by Tang San and the others, the effect would certainly be greatly diminished.

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang and Flender also hurried over.

"How is it? Are these Immortal Plants?" Yu Xiaogang asked impatiently.

Tang San nodded, "Yes, Teacher."

"Little San, then hurry and pick them!" Yu Xiaogang urged, suppressing his excitement.

"Alright." Tang San immediately took out the jade boxes he had prepared, plucked the two Immortal Plants and the two fruits one by one, and sealed them in the jade boxes.

After putting away the jade boxes, Tang San said, "Teacher, we need to return to the academy immediately to preserve the medicinal potency to the greatest extent."

Yu Xiaogang took a deep breath. "Alright, let's set off now."

Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

"Father, we are leaving." Yu Xiaogang looked a bit disheveled.

Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen looked at the darkening sky. "It's getting late, why not set off tomorrow?"

"Father, I don't want to stay here." Yu Xiaogang shook his head. "I'd better leave."

A lump formed in Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen's throat; a thousand words ultimately remained unspoken.

How could he not know about the whispers and pointing from the clan's Disciples toward Yu Xiaogang yesterday?

"Xiaogang, take care." Clan Master Yu Yuanzhen sighed deeply. "Remember, this will always be your home."

He did not ask if they had gained anything, as there had never been any astonishing discoveries for generations.

"Father, farewell." Yu Xiaogang bowed.

"Sect Master Yu, farewell." Flender and Tang San followed with a bow.

After traveling all night, the three finally returned to Shrek Academy when the sun was high in the sky.

Without stopping to rest, Tang San immediately gathered all his companions.

When the four jade boxes were opened one by one on the table, it immediately drew gasps of surprise.

"Everyone, I only found four Immortal Plants in total, so there will be two people…" Tang San didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood what he meant.

On the way back, Tang San had wanted to gift one Immortal Plant to Yu Xiaogang, but he had refused.

If the quantity of Immortal Plants had been plentiful, he might have accepted.

But rather than that, it was better to leave the Opportunity to this group of Little freaks to help them increase their strength; they were all important assets to Tang San.

"Tang San, you distribute them." Flender's gaze swept over the group. "Those who didn't get one, don't be discouraged; it's not certain there won't be other opportunities in the future."

The Shrek group nodded at each other, having no objections to this arrangement.

Tang San pondered for a moment, having already made his decision.

He kept the Thunder-Marrow Mysterious Spirit Flower for himself and gave the Heavenly Thunder Tempering Spirit Grass to the strongest, Dai Mubai.

The remaining two Thunder-Patterned Vermilion Fruits were given to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong respectively.

Tang San had his own considerations for this distribution.

In his heart, although Oscar and Ma Hongjun were companions, they were commoners with ordinary backgrounds.

By comparison, the others would be more helpful to his future grand plans.

"Oscar, Fatty, I've wronged you this time. If I find another Opportunity next time, I will definitely prioritize you both." Tang San promised.

"I'm fine, Little San." Oscar felt a bit disappointed, but he still forced his usual smile onto his face.

Ma Hongjun pursed his lips; although he didn't say anything, his face clearly showed disappointment as he silently stepped aside.

Afterward, the Shrek group began to refine the Immortal Plants according to the methods Tang San described.

Tang San's Soul Power broke through to level 35 in one go, and his Blue Silver Grass gained a certain resistance to lightning.

Dai Mubai's Soul Power climbed to the Peak of level 39, only one step away from becoming a Spirit Ancestor, and his physical fitness also reached a new level.

Zhu Zhuqing improved to level 30.

Ning Rongrong improved to the Peak of level 29.

If these few had been lightning-attribute Spirit Masters, they would have been able to improve even more.
